Learning with Legos

Just ask an Ada elementary student
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, September 27, 2019

Did you know that Legos can talk? Just listen.

“I’m unique because I’m good at drawing.”
“I’m unique because I have a lot of friends.”
“I’m unique because I love reading and math.”

Legos climb the walls at Ada elementary this month and the words on the Legos are written by Ada elementary students.

Using the theme “connect” – appropriate for the plastic blocks – students in Kindergarten through sixth grade are understanding what connects them as a class, school and community.

During a focus time earlier this month, each student identified one way that student is unique and one way that student connects to someone else in class.

Here's Ada's October calendar...and November's calendar

Listing everything from homecoming, Halloween and finishing with breakfast with Santa
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 25, 2019

October and November in Ada – where do we begin? It takes four pages of single-space typing to tell the entire story.

It begins on Oct. 1 with a visit from the mobile dentist at Ada schools. Then, there’s the open house of the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building, followed by homecomings for both Ohio Northern University and Ada High School.

Don’t forget all the Halloween-related community events, library storytime with the Lima Symphony Orchestra, Ada Music Boosters Music Feast, parent-teacher conference, and concluding in late November with a breakfast with Santa at The Inn at ONU.

Darlene Bowers compiles the calendar for the Icon.
